Adaptive Project Mangement
Event Details
How might we adjust or adapt our style in leading our project teams?
Managing projects is both a science and an art. Managing the work of the project towards the desired outcomes is at the core of project management. Yet, managing the people side of the project is significant. And, people can be unpredictable, challenging, and “messy.” In this interactive workshop, we’ll recap key factors in project management, and also address questions like- How do we become aware of our blind spots, and side effects/shortcomings of our natural leadership style? How might we adjust or adapt our style in leading our project teams? What have been some best practices you’ve seen, used, or developed in managing projects?
